Moving Onto the New Year
I’m moving onto the New Year
It’s almost New Year’s Eve.
I’m moving onto new memories
That will linger and won’t leave.
The festive hats on the table.
Noisemakers all around.
Pies yet in the refrigerator –
In whip cream they’ll be drown.
The Watch Night at our church
Still brings us closer to our Lord.
A reminder of God’s greatest gift,
Jesus, who we adore.
I cherish my loved ones
Remembering them so true.
There will be no year any better,
Togetherness getting us through.
So, I’m moving onto the New Year.
Keeping on, keeping on every day,
In expectation of God with me,
As His light guides my way.
